Rid these monsters of reflection.
Mirrors are vomiting
bleach blonde
bitches.
Pretty, vapid
chlorine
burns evidence of authenticity.
Keep their unsightly roots away!
I have grown my garden of
validity
over years of exiguous soil. Chemicals
will kill me.
Lost? Indeed! On every climate,
heads over porcelain, hoping
to
heave in that enamel gloss,
they export
beauty with unique finger tips;
to be a reflection
of another one,
somewhere!
I love it how your writing is like a conversation itself ^o^ very cooolll
Love it!!! Be natural. Be yourself. Wisely and honestly and poetically said. Thank you for sharing your originality.
Bravo!
Deep deep deep!
Good stuff

Your poems are most unlike the average writer.
I hope you manage to really find your stride and core voice, to me that’s more important for a poet than anyone else.
And thanks for visiting my blog, nice to see a new face.
Cheers.
I know those blondes. Smell the bleach. Have been raked by those pretty painted fake fingernails.
this word: exiguous . if an educated reader has to look up a word, then there are probably better words out there. i had to look it up, and i know i’m more educated than the average person. so i’d consider not using words that cause someone extra work. at the same time, it’s always good to learn new words, but it breaks a reader’s rhythm in the poem when we have to stop and think about a word.
but it’s not my poem. i’m just one person who is not the most important person.
I love the way the words simultaneously express the self-hatred of these girls even as they aspire, the very aspiration seems a means of self harm. Reads nicely aloud, this one too…

Very thought provoking and vivid imagery. It’s easy to see the hatred of these females. Thanks for sharing another excellent writing.
Your poems resonate so much with me. Love, love, love your writing and its evocative style!
